Hey Hooby,

I can asure you that you are not watching High-Def on Speedvision. Have your friend show you HDNet if he has DirecTV, you will know the difference between HD vs SD.
I wish it was... maybe I should email Mark Cuban to broadcast it on his HDNet station on DirecTV.

Ya...I know it's not Hi-def....I just like saying that I'll be watchin it on a HDTV :D . He does have Digital Cable though....which is nice :headbang:

Hooby

:thumbup: it is already a great car overall, so it should place well in the standings.

:mitsu: :mitsu: Yep, just chillin at home. :mitsu: :mitsu:

I get digital cable just so I can watch Speedvision. It's also kinda cool to have the on-screen TV guide too.





P.S. Sorry about those Mitsu logos. It kinda slipped. :)

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why mustn't they have speedvision in the dorms here?!?!? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the same way with my dorms.....we get jack fer stations.....

Thus the reason why I make friends with people that have digital cable :D

Hooby

P.S. - Rax....let me know if you wanna get together and watch one of the stages....I'll be around all weekend

Bloody students!!! All they do is sit around, smoke weed and watch rallying all day.... ah , I could do with _just_ one more year of studying :D :D

But seriously, students are lazy, or at least I was :headbang:

Anyway I don't think that Mitsu will do well at all this seasons, at least not by their standards, set by Mr. Mäkinen.

a) they've got mediocre drivers

b) they've got a mediocre car

I think they are rebuilding this season and could fall into a big slump, not unlike McLaren in F1 after Senna left. All the team structures will have been built over years to basically just listen to and cater for one driver. That cost McLaren a long time and I think Mitsu might have the same problem...

:thumbup: well, if alister would drive like his brother colin with no reservations then mitsu might have a chance. but against subie and the rest with star drivers, it is a tough call, i agree. i cannot imagine though why TM left after naming a car after him and making the evo 7 per his specifications?:confused:

The 7 was definetely not per his specifications cause he didn't like the car... or at least it was made badly. Anyway, I'm talking about the 7 WRC, not the road car.

i thought after making improvements on the evo 7, he liked it especially the tall gears of the tranny and how it behave on corners?

Mitsu's chances are not good in WRC. Fourth rate car with a 10th rate driver. :(

I dont think Mistubishi will do that well this year. Like MichaelK said, it will be a couple of years while they make the transition to the new car. All the focus was on Makinnen and how he liked the car, they set that thing up so he could win championships in it. Now that they have new platform it will take some time to tweek it and get it to their new number 1's liking.

Look for Subaru, or Ford to take it all this year.
